Custom Back Up Lights - See.......What's Going on Behind You

I have a truck....a big truck, a long truck.  That has these two dinky little lights to back up with.  So needless to say, backing up in the dark use to suck.....but no more!  I'm through taking a chance on hitting something when parking my truck.  It being so long, I've found it easier to get out of parking lots by backing in and pulling straight out when leaving. 

I got the idea one day while browsing a store's auto department with my son.  I saw these small fog lights and thought to myself, What the hell good are those tiny little lights???...Why I bet the only good place to install those tiny things is on your back bumper....DING!! A light went off in my head.  My son took the box from me.  Looked at those tiny lights, shook his head and pointed to the biggest pair of fog lights they had.  I tell ya, my eyes watered up.....that's MY BOY!

But for this purpose we'll have to go a little smaller.  The idea here is to be able to see behind you while not having some ugly monstrosity hanging off your truck, or car if you're wanting back up lights on it.
